virus alert

[Mehmet Necati AYSAN <ne...@hotmail.com>]

A new virus is making the rounds.  The message looks like this:

   Subject: new photos from my party!

   Hello!

   My party... It was absolutely amazing!
   I have attached my web page with new photos!
   If you can please make color prints of my photos. Thanks!

The email contains a UUENCODEd file named www.myparty.yahoo.com (29696
bytes, when uudecoded). It requires user help to activate -- but some
insecure emailers make it easier for this to occur: the fact that the file
has a name that looks like a URL makes it easier for someone to
double-click on the "link", by mistake.

It bears repeating, as we have done so many times before:

NEVER ACCEPT UNSOLICITED ATTACHMENTS, not even from those you know and
trust, especially files that end in .com, .exe, .pif, .bat.

A new McAfee "Extra" data file has been posted.  We will be adding it to
our local server shortly and will email instructions.

For more information, see the McAfee web site:
